The bitch should have never been there in the first place. She
knew it too.

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio (WTOV) - Protesters gathered in front of a
Bridgeport, Ohio church Tuesday to let their local Boy Scout
leaders know how they felt about a controversial decision.

The controversy began just last week when a Tiger Scout leader
had her membership revoked due to her sexual orientation.

Jennifer Tyrrell said she was the den leader for Pack 109's
Tiger Scouts for a year before her orientation became an issue.

Tyrrell is homosexual and said she was hesitant to take the
position in the first place.

The Boy Scouts of America has a strict policy when it comes to
sexual orientation and membership.

"We do not grant membership to individuals who are opened or
avowed homosexuals," said Bob Drury.

Drury is the scout executive for the Ohio River Valley.

Drury said there was no decision to be made, the policy is very
clear.

"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to develop
character and leadership skills and the youth of today to become
leaders of tomorrow," Drury said. "Anything that distracts from
that mission distracts from what our program is."

But parents don't feel like Tyrrell was a distraction.

In fact they never had an issue with her sexual orientation.

"It was never an issue because we judge people by their actions
and she's done a really good job with the kids, a lot better
than the leaders in the past, and it has nothing to do with her
sexuality at all," said Rob Donn, a parent.

Tyrrell said her biggest concern is the boys.

"My biggest concern is that the children will think that I
abandoned them because they don't understand," she said.

Tyrrell said she doesn't feel that this is a good lesson for the
boys, but leaders said there isn't anything they can do.

They claim they would never have allowed her to become a den
leader had they known of her sexual orientation a year ago.

Even though they revoked her membership, local leaders said it
in no way reflects how well she did with the children or how
effective she was as a leader.

They said it is solely based on her sexual orientation.

The Boy Scouts (of America) also denies membership to kids who don't
believe in a god. The bigoted and hateful organization has lost public
funding because of its discrimination. I will continue to support the
Girl Scouts who left the dark ages behind long ago.

My short exposure to the BS was in a Catholic group sponsored by the RCC.
Of course the boys would be safe camping with Father Casey.

It has nothing to do with boys getting molested by lesbians and
everything to do with sick homos teaching boys about how the filth and
perversions of the homosexual lifestyle are completely "normal" and
"natural" and that it's "ok" to be a sick faggot.

Faggots love to corner children on this subject because they know better
than anyone else that misery loves company.

Guess agein.





Rising atheism in America puts 'religious right on the defensive'
1 October 2011
The Guardian UK

The US is increasingly portrayed as a hotbed of religious
fervour. Yet in the homeland of ostentatiously religious
politicians such as Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry,
agnostics and atheists are actually part of one of the
fastest-growing demographics in the US: the godless. Far
from being in thrall to its religious leaders, the US is
in fact becoming a more secular country, some experts say.
"It has never been better to be a free-thinker or an
agnostic in America," says Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president
of the FFRF.

Most experts agree that the number of secular Americans has
probably doubled in the past three decades – growing especially
fast among the young. It is thought to be the fastest-growing
major "religious" demographic in the country.

Professor Barry Kosmin of Trinity College, who conducts the
national Religious Identification Survey, believes up to a
quarter of young people in the US now have no specific faith,
and scoffs at the idea, prevalent in so much US media and
culture, that the country is highly religious or becoming
more so. "The trending in American history is towards
secularisation," Kosmin said.

There are other indications, too. For a long time studies
have shown that about 40% of US adults attend a church service
weekly. However, other studies that actually counted those at
church – rather than just asking people if they went – have
shown the true number to be about half to two-thirds of that
figure.

More Americans are now choosing to get married or be buried
without any form of religious ceremony. At universities,
departments devoted to the study of secularism are starting
to appear. Books by atheist authors are bestsellers. National
groups, such as the Secular Coalition of America (SCA), have
opened branches across the country.

Boy Scouts failed to report abuser

October 29, 2011
Rick Turley was 18 when he learned that Scouting offered a
unique opportunity to meet boys. He would show up in a uniform
with a sash full of merit badges, charm parents with claims
of being a "top" leader and offer to take their preteen boys
out for a swim or drive. Then, often after plying them with
alcohol, he would fondle or rape them — once going so far as
to kidnap a boy in a stolen plane.

Over nearly two decades, Turley molested at least 15 children
in Southern California and British Columbia, most of whom he
met through American and Canadian Scouting, a Los Angeles
Times and Canadian Broadcasting Corp. investigation has found.

Scouting officials on both sides of the border not only failed
to stop him, but sometimes helped cover his tracks, according
to confidential Scouting records, court files and interviews
with victims, families and Scout leaders.

At one point in 1979, Boy Scouts of America officials decided
not to call police after Turley admitted molesting three Orange
County boys, the organization's records show.

"We were following exactly the national recommendations of
the Boy Scouts of America and its board who set up the rules,"
said A. Buford Hill Jr., a former Orange County Scouting executive,
in a recent interview. "You do not want to broadcast to the entire
population that these things happen. You take care of it quietly
and make sure it never happens again."

But it did.

Turley returned to British Columbia, signed on with Scouts Canada,
which is separate from its U.S. counterpart, and continued his
abuses for at least a decade.

Turley, now 58, is still surprised at how often he got away with it.

Shouldn't have "become an issue" at all.
I was asked, STRONGLY PERSUADED actually, to become the leader of our
local cub scout troop. I had been a pack leader for my son's cub scout
pack. When I told them I couldn't because part of the requirements are
that I believe in some "higher power" and that I was an atheist, they
just didn't care. They were more interested in getting someone that had
the skill set to do the job, and liked doing the job. Kind of mind
blowing considering this is the deep south. I turned it down because I
*knew* it would eventually become an issue when some fundy's kid got
into the troop and MADE it an issue.

My son and I just didn't say anything about our (lack of) beliefs until
I was asked to become the Troop Leader. After I told them why I
couldn't do it, we quit to do our own thing. I spend more time hunting,
fishing, and just general camping, with him than we ever did as scout
activities anyway, and we did things that the Scouts could never do due
to liability issues. So, they lost two good members due to their
intolerant conditions of membership.

Yeah, that's what cracks me up. They were safer with her than with a

Your bigotry is showing and you are making decisions for your son now
that you and he both may very well regret when he grows older and
becomes his own person, The question is; "By what right or privilege
do you commit your son to atheism'? And further more, will you also
instruct him to be a drug addict, an alcoholic -- I fear your son,
having a father of your sort, has a bad life ahead of him.

All children are born atheists. Many religions demand that children be
taught about the religion of their culture when they are very young when
they are vulnerable.

The real question is "By what right or privilege do you commit your
children to your religion? And further more, will you also instruct them
to develop your hateful bigotry?" I fear your children, having a father
of your sort, they have a bad life ahead. Fortunately, these days many
more children are opening their eyes and abandoning the religious
nonsense foisted upon them by their parents and are able to go on to
lead productive, happy lives having dispensed with the fear of imaginary
gods.

Priests should never be allowed near ANY male children under the age of
18. Almost all of them are faggots. It's part of their training and
why they can not marry. The apostles were all faggots too, and Jesus
preformed gay sex with all of them. The tradition continues in
christian religion, especially catholics.
